7:34 (HL) - WHY ARE THESE BITCHES SO SKINNY. And Sam, did you hear that Mila Kunis prepared for this ceremony by getting a diamond facial that was worth $7,000?
7:35 (SM) - No, I didn't. Sofia Vergara was on television explaining her boyfriend's proposed policy changes. Or something.
7:39 (SM) - And the Jets win! They won by several home runs apparently.
7:40 (HL) - SAM. WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THE JETS. THIS IS THE GOLDEN GLOBES. Football players always have their penises out nowadays. Nobody cares. Have you been watching Ryan Seacrest's coverage of this? It's stellar.
7:43 (SM) - I was just taking care of the other half of the demographic! Russ wouldn't let me change it to Seacrest's coverage. He started barking. Jennifer Love Hewitt's dress looks like its made to collect water on her chest.
7:45 (HL) - Yeah, but have you seen Scarlett Johansson? She always does that thing with her hair that makes her look like she came out of a wind tunnel and it's so unnecessary, because it's not like she's fucking Ryan Reynolds in limos anymore.
7:48 (SM) - Of course I have seen Scarlett JoHansson. And you think she's not going crazy after getting divorced? She's like the ultimate cougar in training. Ooh, old guy getting in the way of Anne Hathaway's interview. Classic.
7:52 (HL) - Yeah, I saw that. I also saw how it led to Carson Daly and I was disappointed. I'm supposed to ask you what you think of Michelle Williams' boycut.
7:54 (SM) - It's fine. I mean, of course I'd rather have her back in The Baxter haircut, but whatever. Though I do prefer Emma Watson's, but that's obvious. I'm just enjoying how this British lady does NOT handle live TV well AT ALL.
7:56 (HL) - Have you figured out yet that we'll be doing this for three hours?
7:57 (SM) - I'll come to grips with it at the bottom of this bottle.
7:58 (HL) - SAM. WE ARE SO SIMILAR. That's how I got through the Emmys, and IT'S STARTING. NOW! IN 4 SECONDS!
8:00 (SM) - RICKY GERVAAAAAAAAAAAIS!
8:01 (HL) - I do a really great Ricky Gervais impression, I learned this weekend. I just woke up one morning and I just became him. DID YOU HEAR THAT TOURIST DIG??!?!? HE'S SO MONEY HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT.
8:02 (SM) - I want to play checkers on his jacket. So you woke up this morning looking like a pug? Congrats.
8:03 (HL) - I must be too drunk to see how you could play checkers on his jacket. Did you hear that scientology joke? Is that capitalized? Great, more about LOST. You know Danny's squealing all the way out in Queens.
8:06 (SM) - I heard Danny. Or that was him playing with his cat. Russ just said he had a chance with Scarlett Johansson. I didn't have the heart to have the talk with him. And Christian Bale wins for looking like Kermit.
8:07 (HL) - Was he better than Renner though? Little Renner? I'm not sure. Bale just enjoys the benefits of forgoing food.
8:08 (SM) - I really wish Bale would do an acceptance speech as Batman. Glad to see LL Cool J is still relevant.
8:10 (HL) - Who is Katie Sagal? At least she said her husband's name. Bale didn't even say his wife's name! It's so important. And first commercial break. What are you going to do?
8:14 (SM) - THAT WAS PEGGY BUNDY! I'm trying to develop an algorithm to figure out how they organize these awards. Supporting drama actor to supporting drama actress on tv? Well, I guess that makes kind of sense. What're you doing?
8:17 (HL) Oh. Well. I was going to spend some time thinking about how most of Natalie Portman's movies that are about to be out were made, like, a while ago. Also, I took a moment to learn who Ms. Golden Globe was. You KNOW they consciously made it "Ms. Golden Globe" and not "Ms. Golden Globes."
8:21 (SM) - Cause Sofia Vergara woulda won that one! Heyo joke from 3 years ago! What song would you rather them play over long going speeches? I'm gonna go for some Ludacris.
8:22 (HL) - Nah man. I'd play this.
8:25 (SM) - DAMMIT WHY DID KURT WIN????? SCOTT CAAN WAS ROBBED!!!!!
8:25 (HL) - Wow, you are wrong. Caan is shorter than Guliana Rancic, which means he doesn't even deserve the peanut shells that elephants step on to get the peanuts out.
8: 29 (SM) - Oh whatever. You're could use a peanut shell as a lofted apartment if you wanted to. SELF PROMO TIME - even more hilarious commentary on twitter @samroebuck. Hannah doesn't have one. If she says otherwise, she is lying.
8:30 (HL) - You are a whore. I do have a twitter, and it's @hjoneslawrence. Everyone, follow Sam if you're interested in learning how to carbonate water and use poisonous mushrooms as parachutes.
8:33 (SM) - Follow Hannah for all your Doctor Who news lovers out there. Wow, the HFPA president sounds like a guy about to get one of those throat cancer robot voicer things. Wow, I really need google.
8:34 (HL) - Steve Buscemi for Boardwalk Empire. I guess Hamm will always get to wake up Hamm, so they're always going to keep snubbing him.
8:37 (SM) - I was told to say that was Horseshit with Buscemi winning for another beer, so there we go.
8:39 (HL) - Commercial! Are we going to get another glimpse of Portman's belly, do you think?
8:42 (SM) - I'd imagine so. Fingers crossed for an Alien bursting out during her acceptance speech!
8:43 (HL) - How can that not happen? I really hope The Social Network wins. Like, I really hope so. Even though nobody talks like that and Jesse Eisenberg is currently growing a goatee.
8:47 (SM) - Nope. Burlesque is going to win.
8:47 (HL) - NICE CALL, SAM? Did you see Bill Hader's impression of Cher last night on SNL?
8:49 (SM) - And in my Nikki Finke impression - "TOLDJA!" Wow, Trent Reznor is just up there with Three Six Mafia.
8:50 (HL) - What do you think it's like to be married to Robert Downey Jr.? Like, do you dream about being married to someone else?
8:52 (SM) - I think it would be like being married to ScarJo. You just wake up and giggle. But RDJ's wife is a big time producer. I'd imagine they're on the same level of badassness.
8:55 (HL) - Yeah, I suppose. All I know is he threw his drugs into the ocean after she told him to. I really hope Toy Story 3 wins so the three days I spent in the hospital for dehydration weren't a waste.
8:57 (SM) - I'm just going to go ahead and say it - I enjoyed Dragons and little more than Toys 3. And you know they sell drinks at the movies right? You can buy drinks there. You don't have to starve yourself. Oh, I see, from crying. Wuss. I didn't cray. At all. I mean, maybe. Whatever. Oooh RDJ you handsome man.
9:01 (HL) - Oh man. I got so scared. RDJ said "An" and I thought it meant Angelina Jolie won for The Tourist. But she didn't! Annette Benning did! Praise Hanukkah gelt. And what's with her hair though? Why does she look like Tim Burton?
9:06 (SM) - I just want to know how RDJ can make asking 5 different people to have sex with him charming and I can only make it look desperate. HOW DOES HE DO IT?
9:07 (HL) - He doesn't reward them with slave money.
9:09 (SM) - HEARSAY!
9:09 (HL) - Yeah, Sylvester Stallone saying The Fighter is an extraordinary movie is QUITE the endorsement.
9:12 (SM) - TILDA SWINTON!!! AHHHHHH! MAKE IT STOP! Sylvester Stallone endorsing The Fighter is like Jodi Sweetin endorsing meth.
9:14 (HL) - You know, Al Pacino is great. I'm glad he won for You Don't Know Jack. He's very talented but I get the feeling no matter how many times you tell him, he'll never learn or remember how to make oatmeal. WAIT. J LOVE HEWITT WAS NOMINATED FOR A LIFETIME MOVIE? THE ONE WHERE SHE PLAYED A "MASSEUSE" AND SNORTED COKE OFF OF OLD MAN BALLS?
9:18 (SM) - You actually watched that? Good for you, your tolerance for pain is incredible. And the Full Retard effect is in full swing with Claire Danes' win. Ben Stiller is a prophet.
9:21 (HL) - I watch all Lifetime movies so I know the proper window treatments to buy so men with telescopes can't peer into my apartment.
9:23 (SM) - Russ just sighed in defeat. Ugh, everything I hate about the movies - Zac Efron and The Kids Are Alright. Thanks Ricky Gervais for clearing it up and really bringing up the elephant in the room about Steve Carell leaving. I hope he walks out of the office for the last time with a huge TWSS.
9:26 (HL) - Aaron Sorkin for the win! I think this was pretty obvious. But why is he standing up there and talking about being elite? AS IF WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE'S ELITE ALREADY. HE WROTE A MOVIE ABOUT HARVARD STUDENTS BEING SO SMART THEIR BRAINS ARE TOO BUSY COMPUTING ALGORITHMS TO PROCESS THE PAIN OF WEARING ADDIDAS SANDALS IN SNOW.
9:29 (SM) - I was going to say something about the marvel universe imploding but then Sofia Vergara's massive cleavage came onscreen. Ooh Jane Lynch! Thanks ADD!
9:35 (HL) - I love Olivia Munn's dress. Do you like the way Robert Pattinson looks?
9:37 (SM) - I'll be honest, RPatz looks pretty good in the slim suit and oh snap! You mean Olivia Wilde. BOOM - roasted. And again you should be following me on twitter at @samroebuck. I like to imagine Helen Mirren as she is walking out, looks at all these younger women in the audience and goes "man, I really have to fart."
9:47 (HL) OH man I did get the wrong Olivia! But who cares. Not me! I don't care. Jane Fonda? Jane Fonda's back? I was actually in someone's apartment this weekend and they had a huge picture of her mugshot in their living room. Do you think she really supports Cher? I don't.
9:48 (SM) - I have no idea who these presenters are and OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? BIG BANG THEORY AGAIN??! FUCK THIS SHIT! YOU DON'T GIVE IT STEVE CARELL IN HIS LAST YEAR???
9:49 (HL) - Yeah, this is ridiculous. I have no words. I ALSO HAVE NO WORDS FOR MELISSA LEO WINNING FOR THE FIGHTER. I walked out of that movie and hated her so much that I wished I don't even know what but I just hate her because she's like really religious, right?
9:52 (SM) - She must not be that religious to spend a few hours in a hotel room for a part, if you know what I mean bada bing! Ooooh, new .gif! Helena Bonham Carter's look of "What the fuck is this lady talking about?"
9:54 (HL) - Also, Amy Adams made a face that was like, "I really wouldn't have worked so hard to nail the ugliest accent in the universe if I thought I would lose to you."
9:56 (SM) - I guess this is the time to admit that I still haven't seen The Fighter. Whoops. God, I'm still upset about Jim Parsons winning. Well, not so much him winning. But Eric's gloats Tuesday in the office. "Ohhh, Big Bang Theory, blah blah blah Golden Globes." And the only response I have for him is to show him better shows.
9:58 (HL) - While Robert De Niro is winning the lifetime achievement award, let's plan out how we're going to finally get Eric to shut up about The Big Bang Theory. How should we proceed?
10:01 (SM) - We make him an offer he can't refuse. Or duct tape. Or we let him grow up and realize, ITS NOT A GOOD SHOW. Like a baby losing interest in the shiny new toy he got. Where is De Niro's role in Little Fockers? What Just Happened? They missed so many!
10:04 (HL) - YES! I agree! Shark Tale, Stone, Hide and Seek -- all snubbed! ALSO, WHAT IS HE DOING UP THERE TALKING ABOUT HOMELAND SECURITY AND MEGAN FOX? Is he doing stand-up? Is he really doing stand-up? Why? He just won an award! Why is he suddenly all chatty! If I close my eyes it's like Jay Leno's up there!
10:07 (SM) - Just let him talk. He came all the way out there for this and lets just humor him. Wow, Harry's Law? Really? Oh wait, Parks and Rec returns. That's all I care about. YOU HEAR THAT ERIC? GOOD COMEDY RETURNS THIS WEEK.
10:11 (HL) - Megan Fox introducing The Tourist was the greatest thing. OKAY BITCH HERE WE GO: BEST DIRECTOR is....DAVID FINCHER.
10:16 (SM) - I mean, did we really think it would be anyone else? I'm still upset that Edgar Wright wasn't even nominated. That was some serious directing right there. And holy hell January Jones is back! TV Comedy? Ok, this better be good!
10:18 (SM) - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME GLEE?!?!?!?!
10:19 (HL) - GLEE! AWESOME! Not really. Their success is setting us back almost as much as Palin would if she were elected president.
10:21 (SM) - Aaaaand here come the angry comments! Thanks Hannah! I'm just saying that ham sandwich is funnier than Glee. How does Community get snubbed? HOW????
10:22 (HL) - I'm going to go ahead and say I wasn't obsessed with Black Swan. It wasn't incredible. It was actually really fucked up...kind of like a student film, actually.
10:25 (SM) - If beavers could talk I think they would sound like Paul Giamatti.
10:27 (HL) - Did you hear him go off on how great the chocolates on the table were? What a fatty! Also, where's Ricky Gervais? Do you think his comments about the HFPA's head honcho got him escorted out of the building? And also, do you think that since he's British, he's wearing those things under his pants that hold up socks?
10:29 (SM) - I know you don't care about stuff like this, but watching Rex Ryan run is hilarious. Funnier than Glee anyway. Gervais is probably saving his best stuff for later. And if you watched Doctor Who you would know what those things are called! Learn your British stuff! And what the hell? This Green Hornet trailer is awesome. Why did they not show this earlier?
10:32 (HL) - I do not watch Doctor Who because I am proud to be an American, and, unlike you, I do not live in America to give secrets to the British because that is treason and unacceptable and punishable by anything and everything. I have no clue why you enjoy betraying your own country so much with a show where alien creatures have their brains outside their heads.
10:35 (SM) - Blah, blah, blah, I don't like culture. And why didn't people MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE PREGNANT WINNER?!?!
10:36 (HL) - UGH, DOES THIS MEAN SHE'S NOT GOING AWAY NOW? SO WHAT, seriously. She stopped eating and danced a lot. The entire upper east side does that.
10:38 (SM) - And the other is Tim Allen. Now for the biggest joke award! Way to go Golden Globes for making a comedy award a joke.
10:39 (SM) - Apparently lesbian struggles are comedic! Thanks HFPA!
10:41 (HL) - No sir, that movie was great. But I see what you mean. Just so I know you're on the same page as me, do you realize how much more you're going to have to write about Portman now?
10:44 (SM) - Eh, I'd rather write about her than New Year's Eve or Zookeeper or anything involving someone 'optioning' something.
10:46 (HL) - Please Colin Firth! Please Colin Firth! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLIN FIRRRRTH!
10:49 (SM) - The only way he would be more charming is if he delivered this speech in broken Portuguese.
10:50 (HL) - You are so right. NOW. We agree The Social Network should win best picture, yes?
10:51 (SM) - Oh, without a doubt. It was either that or Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World for me. Also, I saw Tiny Furniture last night. It was weird. Its such an NYC movie that these douches behind me kept laughing like it was THE FUNNIEST THING IN THE WORLD. It was funny, don't get me wrong, but these idiots were like "we're so hip we understand all these references!"
10:54 (HL) - That's a nice standing ovation for Michael Douglas. And TSN wins! Thank God. I would not have been happy with anyone else. Why is Scott Rudin thanking Zuckerberg? It's not like he created Facebook for him.
10:57 (SM) - I mean, who is he going to thank? Tom from Myspace? Oh Ricky Gervais, nice little atheist gag right at the end. How I love that little man.
10:59 (HL) - Well that's the show! I hope you've enjoyed these three hours as much as I've enjoyed pointing a telescope at Portman's belly. Thanks to Sam for joining me this evening and for only once referencing Doctor Who because he knows I don't give a shit about that show.
11:01 (SM) - Oh whatever, I'm gonna go watch it now. Don't listen to Hannah. She watches cat videos.
11:02 (HL) - Yeah.

Mad Men's win for best drama series marked the third consecutive time the 1960s hit took the prize, seeing off competition this year (10) from Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Good Wife, Lost and blood-sucking vampire series True Blood.
Best comedy series winner Modern Family topped Curb Your Enthusiasm, Nurse Jackie, The Office, 30 Rock and Glee for its big win. The show's Eric Stonestreet took home the night's first prize, for best supporting actor in a comedy, while the hit also won best writing in a comedy series.
Musical comedy Glee started the evening as the most-nominated series after landing an impressive 19 nods, but the show failed to make a clean sweep - supporting actress Jane Lynch and director/co-creator Ryan Murphy walked away with wins while Glee star Lea Michele lost out on the best leading actress in a comedy to Nurse Jackie's Edie Falco.
Hollywood stars took over a portion of the evening, as Claire Danes accepted the prize for best leading actress for her role in TV movie Temple Grandin, which also won the best made for television movie award and saw supporting actors Julia Ormond and David Strathairn take home prizes.
Meanwhile, Al Pacino's You Don't Know Jack scored two Emmys, for lead actor and writing, while Tom Hank's The Pacific won for best mini-series.
The Closer star Kyra Sedgwick was a winner for best leading actress in a drama series, seeing off competition from The Good Wife's leading lady Julianna Margulies. She took to the stage fresh from her defeat to present former ER co-star George Clooney with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, to honour his use of television to help good causes.
Clooney used his speech to urge the media to put the plights of disaster victims on the front pages instead of headline-grabbing celebrities, telling the star-studded crowd: "It's important to remember how much good can get done because we live in such strange times where bad behaviours suck up all the attention in the press and the people who really need the spotlight, the Haitians, the Sudanese, the people in the Gulf Coast... Pakistan, they can't get any (press)."
This year's show, hosted by comedian Jimmy Fallon, was opened with a rocking performance from the Glee cast and comediennes Tina Fey and Betty White, as the group took to the stage for a song and dance rendition of Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run.
Meanwhile, the spectacular ceremony was marked by an emotional in memoriam tribute by singer Jewel, who took the stage to play an acoustic version of an unrecorded song she dedicated to a friend who recently died of cancer.

7:50: I'm ready to start this. I've just finished some leftover Chinese food, and now I'm ready to tear some people apart. Good thing I'm not at my own apartment because my old neighbor Madeline would surely stop giving me lemon tarts every week after a full night of screaming for more shots of Christina Hendricks.
7:51: Ah, commercial. Back to Law and Order: SVU to watch Robin Williams reboot his One Hour Photo creep.
7:59: HERE WE GO! BRING ON THE LOSERS!
8:00: OHHHHH snap just show me Tina Fey and I'll play along. Kate Gosselin, not so much.
8:01: NICE. BETTY WHITE AND JON HAMM. I'm liking this more than the cold noodles I just ate. Oh look! Jane Lynch's wax figure.
8:05: I really like this and everything, but if Conan O'Brien isn't there, I almost don't even want to watch anymore.
8:06 It's funny, I know I'm supposed to be looking at Jimmy Fallon, but I just keep going back to the guy from Lost who was in the news recently about something who had to do with Weezer.
8:07: January Jones is sitting next to Jason OMG CONAN IS THERE!
8:09: Ah yes, a montage of a year in comedy. Set to Chris Brown. Too perfect.
8:11: Is this the first category? Betty White looks like some kind of gradient you use in a Microsoft paint application.
8:13: Eric Stonestreet's rockin that "what's in his tux pocket?" look. So is Seacrest, incidentally. Aw, parents.
8:15: Can I just say thank Prosecco that it's not Jon Cryer?
8:18: Sofia Vergara's supposed to run naked if Modern Family wins. If she does, I suspect you'll check out a little bit early from this and I'll get to go do something crazy, like put on my Thundercats t-shirt.
8:21: Modern Family won best writing. Cool. Why did we go from Best Supporting Actor to best writing?
8:23: Every time I update this I just realize how I have 2 more hours to do this. It's like waiting for a plane that keeps getting delayed, and you're not in a cool city like Manhattan, Kansas.
8:25: BADASS, JANE LYNCH! BADASS. Thank your wife, Jane.
8:27: Matthew Perry's coming on? Where has he been? What, they couldn't get the cow that stands outside Stew Leonard's?
8:31: Oh, I see Lauren Graham was available.
8:33: Ryan Murphy for Best Directing, yeah, I see that. I also see that tux.
8:37: Alright bitches, let's slab some lube on Steve Carell and give him something new to play with.
8:38: WELL SHIT! JIM PARSONS FOR BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY. I don't get this one. Is he even strong enough to be wearing that tie?
8:40: Do I have any designated pee breaks while I'm doing this? I forgot to ask my boss. Maybe this commercial for "You Again" is the best one I'll get.
8:44: I feel like Jimmy isn't even in this. Where's the tweeting? AAAAND Neil Patrick Harris brings the first funny joke of the night.
8:45: Nice! Edie Falco just schooled Tina Fey and Lea Michele. That's her fourth Emmy! She's tied with Tina now, I think! What's the point of Jimmy Fallon's guitar? Is there a theme? Was I drinking when they tried to make it obvious?
8:49: Ah yes, Top Chef for best reality program. I can really say I've never watched this show because nobody ever breaks up with anybody. Padma looks like she just had Angelina Jolie/Billy Bob Thorton limo sex with the baby-daddy we know but kind of don't -- the one who invented Dell or something.
8:52: Lots of commercials for Oprah's last season. I feel like this award show is already so bipolar the Oprah stuff is overkill.
8:59: I will be VERY SURPRISED if Connie Britton and/or Kyle Chandler win. But this cliché montage music...WAIT. THE END OF LOST IS A MASS SUICIDE?! That dog must've been pretty pissed if he'd been there since the plane crashed.
9:04: NICE. Aaron Paul for Breaking Bad. This guy looks so ADD, but cool.
9:05: Did he even thank his mother? I know he told her to stop crying, but that just shows you how ADD he really is.
9:10: Wow, I have nothing to contribute about Archie Panjabi's win for The Good Wife. So instead, here's some video of a shih tzu puppy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpjyCE-R4Y4 My boyfriend doesn't have Firefox, so I can't actually put the link in this post. But I promise you, it's worth the trouble of copying and then pasting into a new window. TRUST.
9:13: AWESOME. Bryan Cranston won his third Emmy. I seriously just started watching Breaking Bad yesterday, and to Michael C. Hall, whom I love: you deserve recognition too. Maybe go have a kid?
9:22: If Dexter only gets an award for Best Director, I will never watch another Emmys again.
9:23: If Jimmy Fallon's going to do this, he might as well go back to SNL. Seriously. JIMMY! HAVE YOU HIDDEN YOUR BALLS IN SOME STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE? Oh, I take it back. Boys II Men. Very nice.
9:27: AVON AVON AVON.
9:30: AVON AND WHISKIES.
9:31: These Twitter updates Jimmy Fallon keeps giving almost make me want to quit Twitter. Wow, Kyra Sedgwick for The Closer! Nobody saw that coming. Not even Paul the Octopus! WAIT SHE JUST PASSED HER EMMY OFF TO TINA FEY! Kyra, you got some bitch in you!
9:34: Do you think she's going to make Kevin Bacon do the Footloose dance tonight in celebration? It's such a waste if she doesn't. He even pimped it out for an episode of Will and Grace!
9:35: VARIETY! CONAN'S CATEGORY! WHAT SHALL I DO IF HE WINS? OH GOD, PLEASE LET HIM WIN. I WILL SIT DOWN IN SOMEONE'S BEDBUG-RIDDEN APARTMENT IF HE WINS.
9:37: Oh, nevermind. Writing for a variety special. Go back to watching some shih tzu puppies.
9:40: Did this asshole just thank Jay Leno?
9:43: How do you guys think Conan is passing the time while he's there? Do you think he's playing Tetris or something? He hasn't been tweeting.
9:46: Ricky Gervais should just do a vampire show already. Now that he's so skinny, your eyes immediately go to his Edward teeth.
9:47: Ah yes, Ricky Gervais does a Mel Gibson joke. "Not worse than the Jews!" he says! Stellar. Not even worse than when you walk into Pets on Lex because you're hungry and you find every puppy that's there in a dead puppy sleep.
9:51 OH SNAP IT'S HERE. I HOPE COCO SAVED HIS TETRIS GAME. THAT SHIT'S A BITCH TO START OVER.
9:53: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'WEFHIAOWR723057208YFJNASDMVNMCXZV.NASDKLJF;EW857429---DWRU I;FDSHAF;ASHG;AGY8EWAOPTY9WPQT5729357Q2PIUE'WJFEIJIAKOFJLAKS;HFLAHREOIWRYOIWEYRDKVNSKLNVLFASKHFOAIWEYRO3YO3ITHASHGDSAKLFNLKSDFOIHOWA;IEHR;WOIH;OAEIHTO;AHW;OIASHGO;ADYG
9:53: JON STEWART. AND HE'S NOT EVEN THERE TO ACCEPT IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE AN HOUR LEFT OF THIS.
9:57: I can't even enjoy a commercial for Nate Berkus' new show now.
10:00: And now I have to watch George Clooney accept something he'll probably lose on a plane when he's going to stay at his villa in Italy? Please.
10:01: Betty White even stood up to honor George. It just got like a vomitorium all up in here.
10:04: Does anybody watch these "mini-series" or "movies" things?
10:10: That commercial for Jimmy Smits playing a lawyer for Outlaw did less for me than Kim Kardashian's Twitter background.
10:17: GAMECHANGER! JEWEL! PLEASE TELL ME SHE'S GOING TO MISUSE THE WORD 'CASUALTY' AGAIN!
10:26: I think it just hit me that John Slattery didn't win for Mad Men.
10:30: Claire Danes for the win for Temple Grandin. She didn't thank her husband. Downgrade. Now I'm going to go back to googling whether or not Roy Disney was an anti semite.
10:35: Alexander Skaarsgard is officially Jack Skellington. If you don't know who that is, you don't get me and you never will.
10:38: Very nice, Al Pacino for You Don't Know Jack.
10:45: Laurence Fishburne! How's it going brother?! No Montana tonight? That's okay, she's probably studying algorithms.
10:51: Mad Men's third Emmy! I'd like to make a joke about how Fred Armisen deserves and Emmy for having been married to Scientologist Elisabeth Moss for 10 months, but I already took a crack at Jewel and I've gotten lazy after doing this for 2 hours and 53 minutes.
10:57: Who's this goat (thanks EB) and what did he do with Ted Danson! AAAND UPSET! MODERN FAMILY FOR BEST COMEDY SERIES!
10:59: AAAAAAAAAND I'm spent. Remember to tip your lobotomist and visit Hollywood.com for the latest and greatest on awards you'll never win.

The 2010 Emmy Awards are almost upon us! While each awards season offers something a little different than the last, there are some things that just never change: every year, in every nomination category - be it Best Actor, Outstanding Variety Series, or what have you - there is always one serious long shot. If not two! You know, those nominees that, for one reason or another, are simply not going to win. Were they nominated out of pity? Are they completely deserving but won't win because the world is a cold, cruel place?
Well, today we honor the long shots: the underdogs, the dark horses, the little guys. And the nominees we just feel bad for. Here, in all their glory, are some of the people and shows that are just not going to win:
Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series
Nominees: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live, Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Real Time with Bill Maher
Long Shot: Jon Stewart deserves this, but I think he's the dark horse behind Conan. The Daily Show has already won 7 years in a row, and come Sunday night, the Emmy voters are going to reward the recently deceased Tonight Show. That irks me because Stewart has been absolutely on fire this year and I'm sick to death of Conan's ongoing pity fest. Yes, we all agree that you got screwed by NBC and Jay Leno. No, we don't feel that bad for you when your severance package is $45 million. Get over it.
Best Series, Drama
Nominees: Breaking Bad, Dexter, Lost, Mad Men, The Good Wife, True Blood
Long Shot: True Blood. This HBO show is delicious, sexy, pulpy goodness, but it's been going downhill, writing-wise, since Season One. I would bet my future puppy's life on the fact that this show is going to lose, especially when it's going up against AMC's Mad Men, which is likely to win its 3rd year in a row. I'd even say Lost has better chances than True Blood of winning Best Drama, and that show is looking at worse odds than a fresh beef empanada loose on the set of The Biggest Loser.
Best Actor, Drama
Nominees: Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Hugh Laurie (House), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Matthew Fox (Lost), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
Long Shot: Matthew Fox. Sorry, Lost fans, but how is Matthew Fox vaguely in the same category as Cranston, Hall, Laurie, Hamm, and Chandler? Every time I see this guy on Lost it's like watching a bored cardboard cutout trying to approximate the likeness of a leading man. Why isn't Sawyer on here? That's where the action's at. Anyway, Michael C. Hall is probably going to win this year. He's a great actor and he just had cancer! That's shoo-in status, right there.
Best Series, Comedy
Nominees: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Nurse Jackie, 30 Rock, Glee, The Office, Modern Family
Long Shot: Nurse Jackie is the longest long shot here, but honestly, any series that isn't Modern Family is something of a long shot in my opinion. Yes, lots of people are expecting Glee to win this category (and it still might), but for my money I say Modern Family has got it in the bag. It's new, well rated and consistently funny, while managing to be both relatively fresh format-wise and appealing to older sitcom conventions. Plus, the Emmy people are more conservative than they get credit for, and - to top it all off - the musical Glee is, like Nurse Jackie, more of a drama than a comedy. The Office continued its downward slide this season and won't win either, but if I had to pick a distant 6th place, I'd say it's Jackie.
Best Actor, Comedy
Nominees: Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), Tony Shalhoub (Monk), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Steve Carell (The Office), Larry David (Curb your Enthusiasm), Matthew Morrison (Glee)
Long Shot: Matthew Morrison, 100% long shot. Morrison is an embarrassingly distant 6th compared to the other five comedic actors who were nominated. Jim Parsons is likely to win this year, although last year's winner Alec Baldwin could take home the gold again, as could previous winner Tony Shalhoub, who just finished Monk's final season. Larry David is hilarious as always but I suspect many people are (rightly) confused as to whether he is actually acting or just filming himself being a schmuck. But Morrison... Morrison, Morrison, Morrison. Your comedic stylings are almost as poor as your rapping. No.
Best Actress, Comedy
Nominees: Lea Michele (Glee), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Toni Collette (United States of Tara)
Long Shot: Lea Michele. I'm sorry if it's starting to look like I'm just shitting on the cast of Glee, but a number of Glee actors and actresses have been nominated in 'comedy' categories and, with the exception of Jane Lynch, none of them are particularly funny. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - now those are genuinely funny women, and I expect one or the other to win. Lea Michele, while a terrific singer and a promising actress, either isn't very funny herself and neither is her character. Sorry Lea, but not by a long shot.
Best Supporting Actor, Comedy Series
Nominees: Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), Ty Burrell (Modern Family), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Jon Cryer (Two And A Half Men), Chris Colfer (Glee)
Long Shot: Chris Colfer. Once again, we have a terrific actor from Glee who isn't very funny. I guess my frustration here is that Glee is considered a comedy at all when it's more a lighthearted musical-drama. Anyway, even though Colfer does a great job with the material he's given, he's not outstanding enough to be the youngest ever recipient of this Emmy. If anything, I think Ty Burrell or Eric Stonestreet of Modern Family is going to win this one, while the Emmy voters are going to pass Neil Patrick Harris on this one and instead reward him in the 'Guest' category for his pitch-perfect "Bryan Ryan" cameo on Glee.
Best Supporting Actress, Comedy Series
Nominees: Jane Lynch (Glee), Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live), Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Jane Krakowski (30 Rock), Holland Taylor (Two And A Half Men), Julie Bowen (Modern Family)
Long Shot: Sofia Vergara is looking pretty weak in this category (as is Kristen Wiig), but honestly anyone who isn't Jane Lynch is going to lose this year. Lynch absolutely nailed her performance on Glee as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, a character that allowed her the perfect outlet for her signature brand of deadpan comedy and hilariously candid delivery. As much as I'd enjoy looking at Sofia Vergara on stage (or anywhere, really), the Emmy voters have got Lynch locked down for the win this year.
Guest Actress in a Comedy Series
Nominees: Betty White (Saturday Night Live), Tina Fey (Saturday Night Live), Kristin Chenoweth (Glee), Elaine Stritch (30 Rock), Jane Lynch (Two And A Half Men), Katherine Joosten (Desperate Housewives), Christine Baranski (The Big Band Theory)
Long Shot: Do you look like the woman to the left? Is your name Betty White? If you answered 'No,' then you are not going to win this Emmy. This was the unofficial year of Betty White, with the former Golden Girl getting tons of love from critics and fans young and old, and even got plenty of love from the ever fickle Internet hive mind. While I absolutely loved Elaine Stritch's turn as Jack Donaghy's acerbic mother on 30 Rock this season, I don't think there is much doubt that the Emmy voters are going to jump on the Betty White bandwagon and reward her for what was truthfully one of the best Saturday Night Live guest spots in recent memory.
